I work better when I’m on a deadline or my neck is in the line. So, finally I’ve set a date for using the two Sun Java Certification coupons before the end of November. The coupons are valid worldwide, so no problem with travel as well.

I need to read a couple of good books on Java back2back like Thinking in Java. Although, I’m working on so-called Java Development for some good years, I think I need to prepare a bit. The problem with regular development and Certification is, when you are working on a project all you need to think about is how to get the task/feature done.

You don’t think about why something is like that unless you’re fortunate enough to get a good Lead/Mentor who explains the things. Certification is a different thing, you need to understand almost every nook and corner of the language. But looking at the sample questions of SCJP 5.0 things are seeming to be easy. Let me see if I can finish the coupons by November.
